Subject:      GEN: new report on NCLB
To:           LM_NET@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


New from the Center on Education Policy, From the Capital to the Classroom:
Year 2 of the No Child Left Behind Act.  Available at
http://www.ctredpol.org/pubs/nclby2/cep_nclb_y2.pdf.  It is big (253
pages), described as the first comprehensive report on NCLB, and getting
some press -- for example in the Kansas City Star (registration required):
http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/7803483.htm.  See
http://www.ctredpol.org/ for related links, including state case
studies.  Critics note that evaluation of the act is premature, and that
reforms were already underway before the act.  The report does not (judging
from searching the text) mention libraries, which may reflect an oversight
in the law (a point on which I plead ignorance).

Apologies if this has already been posted.  I had not noticed a reference yet.
